In the fall of 2004, West Point graduate William B. Reynolds III suffered a near-fatal wound in Iraq while serving as an infantry reconnaissance platoon leader for the 10th Mountain Infantry Division. Rehabilitation and recovery filled the next two years, at the end of which he realized that he would be unable to continue as an infantry officer.

"No longer being able to fulfill my desired career path in the military, I opted to accept medical retirement and seek higher-level education in business to leverage the leadership and management experience I had gained. During my rehabilitation and recovery, I was naturally drawn to the health sciences management field. Simon, one of the few MBA programs that had a concentration in this area, became an obvious fit for my goal of higher education in business."

Will was most suprised with the virtually unlimited access to professors that Simon offers. The team experience has been very positive, as well. "In the business environment, you will never be able to master all facets of your duty description. Therefore, it is key to learn the importance of depending on, and trusting, those around you. This insight is instilled in you at Simon, where you often have to 'divide and conquer' assignments among fellow teammates."

He also values Simon's rich international diversity. "This diversity is a large selling point in today's global economy. I have learned more about other cultures and international business in the study rooms of Simon than I have in the couple of years that I lived and worked in several countries abroad."
